Head Start Staff Training

The Down To Earth Dad® professional-development staff trainings — on father engagement and/or staff wellness and mental health via stress reduction in support of work-life balance — are for early individual early childhood programs, schools, organizations, and state/regional/national education association events.

Chances are good your team will say afterwards this was the most FUN (and interactive) training they ever attended!

These professional-development trainings — in summer and during the school year, or as breakout sessions at conferences — have a lasting, positive impact on new and experienced staff, and they help bring about lasting, positive outcomes for the children and families connected to the programs and schools hosting these high-quality trainings.

Local programs host these trainings in their gym, lunchroom, conference room, auditorium, or other local meeting space/venue such as a church or event center.
